Three Interesting Questions

 1.  Is the German government reaching a point where they will set electrical prices from the grid....themselves?

There's a lot of chatter going on, and the word 'intervention' is coming up almost daily.  

What this leads onto is the idea that if they do absolutely nothing....your electrical bill in the spring of 2023 will be up into the thousands of Euro....if people have to use electrical heat more than their actual natural gas furnace in the basement. 

People thinking this would help?  Well....then you get to the tax funding for this and where you will cut the budget...to meet an enormous bill.

In a nutshell, you would create a massive issue with new taxation in 2023.....to prevent people from getting massive electrical bills.

2.  Is anyone much from Germany showing up for Gorbachev's funeral in Moscow?

NO.  It appears that the chief diplomat for the German government will be the representative of the government.

3.  The German Federal Court getting into hotel ratings?

Well....yesterday, what they said in a ruling was that you can't make a rating on a hotel unless you actually were there.

All of these ratings portals are now supposed to take action to ensure the person was physically there.  Making it more difficult?  In this case, if the rating was bogus and the guy was never there.....yeah, you could sue the ratings portal.  

My general advice?  If you spent some time at a hotel, and it was special...it doesn't hurt to say something on ratings.  If you had a negative visit at a hotel....I'd just comment and say 'it didn't meet my expectations' and just leave at that.  Don't say anything else more critical than that.
